What the data for this category looks like
The data sources for this category are private vulnerability reports, code repositories, CVE numbering bodies, and official release channels. Daily produced documents include security advisories, vulnerability reports, fix patches, and CVE application materials. Each document contains fields such as vulnerability ID, impact scope, patch version, disclosure time, and report submitter. Data updates follow the rhythm of individual vulnerability events, with no fixed cycle. Updates are only triggered at all process nodes from vulnerability discovery to disclosure. There are no regular scenarios for bulk scheduled updates.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on scheduled tasks and automation workflows
The characteristics of this category’s data impose multiple constraints on scheduled tasks and automation workflows. First, data updates have no fixed cycle, so fixed-interval scheduled tasks cannot be set. Execution must be bound to event nodes such as vulnerability discovery, patch submission, and CVE application. Second, the data includes undisclosed sensitive vulnerability information. The execution environment of automation workflows must be strictly isolated to prevent sensitive data leaks. Third, data formats from multiple sources vary, and the field structures of vulnerability reports from different channels are inconsistent. Automation workflows must include unified format adaptation and verification steps. Finally, vulnerability disclosure involves coordination across multiple parties. Scheduled tasks must support temporary adjustments to execution timing, and mandatory fixed scheduling logic is not allowed.
How to configure settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger Mode | Triggered by vulnerability event tags | Data updates have no fixed cycle, so must match event nodes such as vulnerability discovery and patch submission |
| Data Pull Timeout | 300-600 seconds | Covers the normal response delay of code repository and CVE numbering body APIs |
| Format Validation Rules | Mandatory validation of CVE-ID and impact scope fields | Missing core fields will prevent operation reports from being used for security response |
| Exception Notification Frequency | 1 notification per exception trigger | Avoids duplicate notifications interfering with the daily work of security teams |
| Execution Log Retention Period | 30 days | Meets the basic retention requirements for compliance audits |
| Execution Environment Isolation Level | Private dedicated execution space | Protects undisclosed sensitive vulnerability information from leaks |
Three common configuration errors
- Phenomenon: A 404 status code is returned when pulling vulnerability data on a scheduled basis | Cause: Access credentials for private code repositories or CVE body APIs are not configured, preventing normal pulling of target data.
- Phenomenon: The vulnerability impact scope field is empty in automatically generated operation reports | Cause: Mandatory format validation rules are not configured, and vulnerability documents with missing core fields are not filtered, resulting in invalid data being included in the summary.
- Phenomenon: Vulnerability advisories updated on static pages are not synchronized to the knowledge base | Cause: The scheduled task only pulls data at fixed times, and is not bound to the trigger event for static page updates, so it cannot perceive content changes.
How to confirm successful configuration
- Submit a simulated vulnerability report to trigger the corresponding event tag, and check whether the scheduled task execution logs for FastGPT v4.17.0 show that data pulling, format validation, and report generation are successful.
- View the isolation configuration of the execution environment, and confirm that private vulnerability data is only accessible to authorized security teams and is not publicly exposed.
- Manually modify the core fields of a simulated vulnerability document, and check whether the automation workflow triggers format validation alerts and pushes notifications.
- Wait for a simulated vulnerability event to trigger, and confirm that the operation report is generated as expected and pushed to the specified receiving channel.
